Time-Critical, Adaptive Techniques for Perceptually-Sensitive, Real-Time
Animation
This proposal addresses the use of time-critical, adaptive techniques in
Real-time animation applications, such as Virtual Reality (VR) and
simulation. In large-scale virtual environments, rendering many objects,
generating realistic motion, and handling interactions, imposes an
incredibly high computational load. In order to achieve smooth,
flicker-free animation, the frame-rate must be high and constant. To
achieve this, speed/accuracy trade-offs are needed, which take into account
the perceptual capabilities of the viewer. The major focus of this research
is the development of a perceptually-sensitive, time-critical system, which
incorporates eye-tracking, and adaptive algorithms for rendering, motion
synthesis and collision handling.
